Skepta Apologizes For ‘Gas Me Up’ Single Art That Drew Holocaust Comparisons: ‘I Vow To Be More Mindful Going Forward’
The image of bald men with the title tattooed on one person’s skull drew widespread criticism.
British rapper Skepta has apologized for the offensive artwork for his upcoming single, “Gas Me Up (Diligent),” after facing fierce backlash for an image some saw as evoking the Holocaust. “I’ve seen the messages, tweets and Tik Toks, I’m truly grateful that my music is still resonating with the world even in my absence, I’m happy to announce my next studio album #KnifeAndFork is loading, the first single #GasMeUp (Diligent) will be out January 26th.” In addition, Reuters reported that officials in Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, South Africa, Russia and China have also reported a rash of antisemitic incidents and attacks at a time when the leading Republican presidential candidate, former one-term president Donald Trump, has drawn fire for referring to his enemies in speeches as “vermin,” a term echoing the language of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
